The Self Care Creature Podcast

Self-care is a lifelong commitment of continually choosing to show up for yourself (and that’s not a linear path)to know what you need, what best serves you, and how to honor your well-being without sacrificing your health or worth, so you can show up as you truly are in this world and be there with and for the people you care about. There’s nothing dazzling or limiting about this. It’s true inner work, for an honest peace of mind, which leads to a high quality life. We are all capable of this.

In the 4th and final episode of the Healing Through Heartbreak series Courtney candidly reflects on her journey over the past 6 months, moving from the “Self Love + Stabilize Era” into the "Fiercely Fortifying Era." Through the challenges and triumphs, Courtney navigates the bridge from self to community, emphasizing the importance of relationships in the healing process. Acknowledging the difficulties faced during this period, Courtney invites listeners to remember that healing is a non-linear journey, unique to each individual. Courtney shares her experiences and encourages herself to celebrate some wins of feeling more grounded and anchored within herself, along with the one major factor that contributed to it all during the darkest season of the year. This episode touches on what intuition is not and how the phrase “everything happens for a reason” is not something to latch onto. With vulnerability and wisdom, Courtney invites us to challenge clichés, celebrate wins, embrace difficulties, and ultimately recognize the intricate dance of growth, learning, and self-compassion.
